Our producer Kristal hosts this episode, telling the very dark, twisting, fascinating and TRUE story of Sister Ping, Queen of the Snakeheads, arguably the most successful documented human smuggler in history and based right in the heart of New York’s Chinatown.

From warring Fujianese street gangs, to international money laundering, to sneaky-sneak side deals with the FBI, fans of the HBO Show Warrior (and women led organized crime syndications) will NOT want to miss this.

Also, there is a movie Snakeheadmovie soon to be released based on this sensational story! Directed by

Jordana is full of wishes. She wishes to be more connected to her Chinese culture. She wishes she knew more before engaging in hookup culture. She wishes she knew her birth parents. She wishes her two Jewish dads were ok with her wearing spaghetti straps. She wishes people were more ok with her emotions, her thoughts, her opinions – and if they’re not, actually, come to think of it…. she doesn’t care.

The thing about Jordana is, she’s not just a dreamer, she’s a doer. She KNOWS she will learn from her past, she INTENDS to cultivate a better relationship with her parents, and she PLANS to go back to China one day to live, work, and search for her birth parents.

From learning how to set boundaries to dismantling her drive to be hyper productive, this episode has a little something for everyone.

On the inaugural episode of Real Asian Voices, Sho Morikawa opens up about his experience as an Asian American trans man. From telling his Asian parents (while navigating language barriers) to telling his girlfriend he’s trans, Sho shares and bares all, with humor, vulnerability, and awe-worthy honesty.

“People who identify as q***r … their identity tends to be more fluid, and that may or may not have to do with the fact that once they identify with the q***r community, you’re exposed to more diverse types of people, and you become more educated in the different nuances of gender identity — It’s not just about identifying as a man or a woman.” – Sho Morikawa

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the course of the parent/child relationship never did run smooth. Why didn’t our Asian immigrant parents talk to us about their/our feelings? Was that because they didn’t love us, or were they just dealing with their own trauma?

How many of you now, as parents, are grappling with how to raise kids – trying to uphold the values of your honored ancestors while teaching them empathy so they don’t grow up to be racist a-holes?

Also – what do you do when your Asian kid comes home from school, asking you if they’re White? 😬

From acknowledging the strength of her parents who came to the US (literally by boat), to recognizing her own privilege, to raising a bevy of 3 children (all under the age of 7), superwoman Kristine very candidly shares her journey of parenting during a pandemic.

Ever been called a Coconut 🥥 or a Banana 🍌? No, not the yummy tropical fruit, but the racial slur.

Reclaiming the pejorative word in her upcoming book “Coconut” is Nisha Patel – a self proclaimed q***r, fat, femme, disabled poet laureate and artist of color. A poetry slam champion, poetry publishing house founder, writer in residence at a library, and prolific public performer, what really makes Nisha a badass is not her awe-inspiring array of accomplishments, but her clear sense of self, her strength in the face of as**at haters, and her indomitable spirit.

From wrangling with racism, sexism, and ableism to just living as an artist with Asian immigrant parents, Nisha tackles it all – with uncompromising candor and inimitable style.

Welcome to Season 2 of the RAW Podcast!

Season 1 of the RAW Podcast kicked off in 2019 with the pilot episode: “I’m Not a Good Asian Girl.”

Almost 2 years later, Stephanie reveals the racism, harassment, and gaslighting that caused her to quit her toxic job, leave the city of Houston, and launch this podcast series. Through the soothing guidance of guest host Peter, a scientific interview originally conducted to study instances of racism experienced by Adult Children of Immigrants turns into a healing conversation, a surprising realization, and potential spinoff series.

Trying not to feel terrible that it’s been so long since I put out a podcast, but trying to stay mentally OK during this everlasting quarantine is a job unto itself. Got a Typewriter to start writing out my thoughts, and I’m thinking about sharing my thoughts like this for a while... If you want to write, type, or do the same, and send me a pic, I would love to share your thoughts on this account of how you have been managing. It can be anonymous or I can tag you. Let’s try something different!

meanwhile, I started a Raw Podcast Discord channel so if you want to join and start talking to like-minded people, send me a message and I’ll invite you!

Pandemic. Riots. Racism. Abuse. Trauma. Grief. Anxiety. Depression. Guilt. Anger. There a lot of bad things out there right now, guys. What do we do when we feel overwhelmed and confused by it all?

Three and a half years and lots of therapy later, Stephanie names her abuser online and addresses the flood of responses that result from that decision. Why is it particularly difficult for the Asian community to talk about the horrors that lurk behind close doors? What happens when we start to talk opnely and reveal names? Fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, and righteous anger are only the beginning. Trigger Warning: Physical, Mental, and Emotional Abuse.
